The MLB season rolls on today with another exciting 15-game slate on the docket. With every team in action across the league, there is plenty to attack and craft an MLB parlay. I cashed my last MLB parlay on Monday at +696 odds, so let’s see if I can make it 2 wins in a row! Let’s dive into today’s MLB parlay picks, with games getting underway at 12:10 pm ET as the Mariners take on the Rays, while action concludes with the Cubs taking on the Giants at 9:44 pm ET. You can also check out all of our MLB picks for the action on Wednesday, June 26.
Mariners ML (-112)
Padres -1.5 (+120)
Orioles -1.5 (+115)
MLB parlay odds: +795
For this MLB parlay, I am going with a bet on the Mariners on the money line, plus the Padres and Orioles to each win by multiple runs. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.
Seattle Mariners ML over Tampa Bay Rays (-112)
To start off our MLB parlay, I’m going with the Seattle Mariners on the money line. It seems like a challenge to back Seattle in this game given the Mariners’ recent form, but I’m of the opinion that this game sets up particularly well for Seattle starter George Kirby. The young right-hander rarely walks anybody, and the Rays lineup is one that is prone to strikeouts. If Kirby can avoid giving up the long ball, he shouldn’t allow Tampa Bay to string together many hits in this one. On the other side, Rays starter Ryan Pepiot is coming off a trio of difficult outings. In fact, Pepiot’s most recent start lasted only 3.1 innings, and the 2 starts prior to that saw him give up a combined 9 runs over 10.2 innings pitched. Given that the Seattle bullpen is also the more trustworthy option here, I’ll take the Mariners on the money line.

San Diego Padres -1.5 over Washington Nationals (+120)
For the second leg in our MLB parlay, I’m going with the Padres on the run line. Despite a late Washington rally to make things more competitive, the Padres still cruised to a multi-run victory on Tuesday, and I’m expecting a similar result in Wednesday’s contest. DJ Herz was supposed to be an impact arm with great stuff for the Nationals, but that hasn’t translated into many wins or strong outings for the left-hander. Herz is coming off a quick start against the Rockies where he allowed 7 hits and 4 runs in just 3.2 innings of work. And while Padres starter Dylan Cease has allowed 11 runs over his last pair of outings, his 3.59 xERA and strikeout metrics are enough for me to believe in him at home against a below average Washington lineup. Let’s get to the window with San Diego.

Baltimore Orioles -1.5 over Cleveland Guardians (+115)
To close out this MLB parlay, I’m backing the Baltimore Orioles to knock off the Cleveland Guardians on the run line. Baltimore lost its 5th straight game on Tuesday, which marked the first time in over 2 years that the O’s have dropped 5 straight contests. However, I think Baltimore is poised to get back to its winning ways given the substantial pitching advantage it has in this matchup.
Since returning from the injured list, Grayson Rodriguez (3.80 xERA, 29.9% whiff rate) has looked excellent for the O’s, as the young right-hander has allowed just 18 runs over his last 7 outings, with a whopping 7 of those coming in his most recent start against the Astros. It’s safe to say he should bounce back at home on Wednesday. Conversely, while Carlos Carrasco’s advanced numbers aren’t quite as ghastly as last season, his 4.92 xERA, .271 xBA and poor strikeout numbers speak for themselves. We should have good conditions to hit, so I like Baltimore’s offense to break out and win this by 2+ runs.
